Where’s Carie?
OK, I’m going to test the power of blogs here…
The other day I was thinking about the happy, fun times of younger days, namely, back when I was a junior copywriter for Leo Burnett, Chicago in the early 1990s.
One of the people I hung out with back then was a very bright young Art Director who originally hailed from Atlanta, named Carie Meier. Anyway, the details are now a bit fuzzy, but she left Burnett circa 1993 to go work for Hal Riney in San Francisco (on the Acura account, if memory serves me correctly), and then got married soon after. We lost touch in the process, as one does. Anyway, I was wondering what happened to her.
No, we never dated or anything. We were just buds. And no, I’m not looking for a date now, either. I imagine she’s happily married somewhere, with lots of kids and whatnot. But it would be good to hear how she’s doing.
If anyone out there knows who I’m talking about, please just say “Hi” from me, that I’m wishing her well, and that I’m doing fine. Thanks.
If I ever hear back from her, I’ll let you know. Maybe.
[UPDATE: August, 2005] Carie saw this page eventually and sent me an e-mail. Follow-up story here. Rock on.
Don’t tease us, Hugh. We would all like to know the outcome, simply as an indication of the ‘power of blogs’. It might also be interesting to compare the power of your blog and mine … if I could handle the embarassment.
